The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

NEWS: Bill Clinton is demanding full transparency from the Trump DOJ on the Epstein files. Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected. He calls on Trump to direct Bondi to immediately release all remaining materials referencing Clinton.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

It’s the “we did it” that did me in. “WE did it!” What a gorgeous moment.

Truth be told, I’m damn sad about the 60 Minutes/Bari Weiss news. That show has been on air almost my entire life, and I grew up watching it with my grandparents (I was a nerdy kid). My emotional attachment aside, 60 Minutes was a bastion of investigative reporting. Today is a disgraceful day.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

I’m not saying Rubio did a banger of a rail right before this presser, but I was a young adult in the 80’s, and every “business & finance guy” in every DT Vancouver bar behaved exactly like this, and made frequent trips to the men’s room with pals. I assume Don Jr is in town for the holidays?

I see Bari Weiss is doing a stellar job over at CBS. First, the Erika Kirk town hall that crashed their ratings, now Weiss has reportedly pulled a 60 Minutes investigate report on CECOT, to appease the Trump administration. What an impressive start, for Weiss.

I’ll take the good days where we can take ‘em, and babes - it’s been a good 36 hours. 🎶 Karma is these creeps on my screen, getting fully beaned 🎶

He doesn’t care about the pedo stuff getting out. He knows his base will find a way to defend it. It’s the financial stuff he’s hiding. It’s how much $ funnelled between him & Epstein. It’s shady deals & possible $ laundering. If it gets out, it will ruin him financially. It’s about the money.

So I’m pretty damn sure I’ve got a crazy level crush on Rhea Seehorn now. I’m talking “might even need to make some adjustments to the laminated list” level crush.

Me: Marmalade Mussolini is holding Hunger Games next summer. Mr: That’s hilarious, but it’s not real, right? Me: Dude. Mr: *googles furiously” … Mr: JFC Me:

Sowing distrust in our system of gov’t via howling a majority formed from floor crossings is illegitimate is Poilievre’s lowest moment. A disgusting act, born from his need to shield himself from criticism for losing 2 MPs to Carney. What’s next, Pierre? Gonna claim you actually won? #cdnpoli

We’re watching “Parenthood”, the 1989 movie, and I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed seeing natural faces, and average wardrobes (not a designed bag in sight), and lived-in, messy, non-aesthetic homes in movies until right now. Not a judgment on altered faces, just an observation.

It’s easy to convince people lies are truth when the lies are about intangibles. It’s not so easy when you’re lying about how great you’ve made their lives, but their kids are going without lunches, and the electricity is about to get shut off. Trump did himself no favour tonight.

SNL is going to have a very difficult time trying to parody this Trump address.

Hey - question for my (smart) American friends; Can POTUS be impeached if the US is actively at war with a foreign nation? I’ve tried Googling, but everything I find is confusing. Any constitutional scholars out there wanna help an old gal out here?

Should’ve posted this in the main thread, but … For anyone curious about Trump’s claim of “stolen land” in his tirade tonight, this is what the claim is based on. Surprise surprise, it’s bullshit. Venezuela has every right to evict foreign corporations from Venezuela. But, Trump 🤷‍♀️

Not once in his life has Donald J Trump been honest about anything related to financing. Not once. If Americans actually believe they aren’t going to eventually be on the hook for this mess, I don’t know what to tell you. He’s not a builder, he’s a brand. That’s all he’s ever been.

I know you’re all transfixed by Leavitt’s lips, but I’m sitting here aghast at all the eyeshadow fallout in her undereye area and wondering why that woman doesn’t know about doing your eyes FIRST. Always use a pro MUA for a photoshoot for Vanity Fair. And a less diabolical photog 😂

Trump is definitely invading Venezuela, on the eve of the deadline to release the Epstein files. The President of the United States of America is gonna send Americans to die in an entirely unnecessary and unprovoked war, because he’s a pedophile who is trying to hide his crimes.

Donald Trump holding a national address 36 hours prior to the deadline for release of the Epstein files is not a coincidence. Buckle up and strap in. There is no way this address is going to be a pleasant one.

When I tell y’all I died DED 🪦 💀 😂

My cousin & her husband came back from Mexico with the coolest gift for Mr. Kikki, and now I have to convince him to leave it in the home office when I know he’s gonna want to take it to his law office to impress his pals 😂 #oilers #nhl #yeg

Vanity Fair did the Trump inner circle dirty with those portraits. Give them all the Pulitzer Prizes.

Can’t help but think Susie Wiles knows far more about Trump’s failing health than the general public (and possibly several aides in his orbit), and is laying the groundwork to save her own enabling and complicit ass when Trump takes his one way trip to H - E - 🏒 - 🏒.

Today, on CTV: Vassy: “Okay, but you lost.” Pierre: “blah blah Carney blah Liberal crime blah blah blah stealing my homework.” Vassy: “Dude, do I need to say it again? You lost YOU LOST.” 😂😂 (Please note these are not actual quotes but a brass tacks summation of the interview)

What an absolutely disastrous interview for Poilievre on CBC this morning. Just when we think he can’t possibly look any less capable of managing his own caucus - let alone a nation - he succeeds in looking like a file boy with some big opinions. I just want an effective opposition, FFS.

All I’m saying is don’t come into these social media streets like Tapper is some kind of hero because he FINALLY questioned the official narrative on Trump’s health. He made good $ writing about Biden’s dementia, but didn’t challenge Leavitt until now on Trump’s. Weak sauce. He’s still ick.

Me, trying to figure out the science behind 2 cups of coffee causing me to produce 8 gallons of pee.

Uhm, if they thought that clip was over the top, wait until they see the video wherein she’s doing some weird shit with her eyes. Anyway, don’t look at it for too long or stare into her eyes. It will make you feel funny. Especially if you’re stoned. Don’t do that.

Gotdammit, Nicki. You were an integral part of my running playlist, too. Like, “Super Bass” at the halfway mark every run always gave me the dopamine spike to keep going. Anyway, hope that all goes well for you. Take care.

We salute you, Charles Clyde Ebbets

Ugh. This image feels sacrilegious. The original is iconic. This makes me uncomfortable on so many levels.

The racism in the comments on Poilievre’s Facebook update about Michael Ma joining the gov’t shouldn’t shock me, but it does. And of course, no moderation happening. I won’t share the ugly comments, but here’s the post. I’m so glad we kept this toxic, entitled, whiny manchild out of the PMO.

The Liberal Party under Mark Carney is the rebirth of the Progressive Conservative Party. The CPC is now basically the fringe PPC/Maple MAGA/Reform Party. #cdnpoli

Dude blew a minority government. The base may forgive a lot. It’s highly unlikely they will be forgiving of Poilievre losing the CPC’s chance to force an election on a non-con. The base was hanging ALL of its hopes on that possibility. Now that it’s gone, Pierre will be too. #cdnpoli

Poilievre’s federal career ended today, if it wasn’t already over. A leader doesn’t survive blowing a 25 pt lead, losing an election & their seat, losing 2 MPs in 10 mnths to the party in power - & another to a resignation - resulting in a functional LPC majority gov’t. What. A. Mess. #cdnpoli

The USA is in such a dangerous and disastrous state. I just cannot imagine how any Canadian can admire and seek to emulate this.

If you didn't already know the USA is our enemy is must be pretty clear now. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

I’ve likely seen more of the USA than most Americans, having travelled it from east to west, north to south. I’m thankful I got to do all that travelling before the most recent Trump admin, because it’s looking like it will be a helluva long time before I return. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/us-...

I’m curious about who was behind it. Braun? Borchetta? Ye? And what was the point of it, what was the objective? Political? Personal? Revenge? A coordinated attack across multiple platforms, over several days, isn’t an inexpensive venture. Someone paid a bag to go after her. Who? Why? 1/

Happy Liberal Menace Season to all my liberal menace peers. This Christmas, I challenge each of you to be such effective liberal menaces that eyes literally pop out of heads around the Christmas dinner table. Let’s get out there and raise some heart rates 😂

Ladies, gentlemen, and all good humans in my feed; I humbly present one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen on Al Gore’s internet. You’re welcome.

Christina Gray is an absolute POWERHOUSE in QP, each time she rises. I appreciate so very much that she consistently comes equipped to demand answers from this government about how they are blowing thru OUR money on contracts for their friends and family. #ableg

Big news out of BC, where John Rustad has (finally) been removed as leader of the Conservative Party of BC, and as leader of the opposition. #cdnpoli

I finally found “Reservation Dogs” on streaming, so this is what I will be doing for the next few days see you all mid-week.

It’s heartening to see a Republican unreservedly call out Trump, & tie their vote directly to Trump’s behaviour. We’re seeing that happen in bursts more frequently, as of late. They aren’t afraid to stand up to him anymore. His influence is waning, his numbers falling, his power crumbling.

Wait - this is real?! IS THIS REAL?! I thought this was satire. I thought this was a brilliant SNL Shorts thing. It’s real. … Yeah I’m gonna be “friends off” with anyone in my circle who buys one of these things because shame on you. 1/

The most amusing aspect of the pipeline drama is the warring conservative factions. Alberta’s Premier: “VICTORY!! I TOOK ON OTTAWA AND WON!” Pierre Poilievre: *mumble whine rant complain* The UCP: “DANI WINS WE GET PIPELINE!” Andrew Scheer: “BUT IT’S NOT REAL!!” The #cdnpoli hilarity 😂😂😂
